There is lots of stuff going on that has a potential to make things less

Andrew's tree and not directly to Linus. That way we have some buffer
and can stablize some more. Alternatively, Dave you could publize your
staging area some more.
That would help us out a bit - we're testing mainline
and -mm regularly. This came up for me yesterday, too,
with Dave's tso patches (which I'm testing right now,
after getting past some hw issues). I was going to
suggest a separate bk tree or something that would
hold this stuff till it stabilized, before it needed
to go into mainline. Having that picked up by mm would
help us to increase coverage quite a bit.
thanks,
